A former Washington, D.C. teacher has vanished without a trace after school officials say they found a pornographic image of a child on a camera he used.
The FBI needs your help finding Eric Justin Toth, who's accused of producing and possessing child pornography. Toth was added to the agency's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, replacing the spot once taken by Osama bin Laden.
"This is someone who is out there looking. He's on the prowl for his next victim," FBI Special Agent-in-Charge, Ronald Hosko, told CNN's Tom Foreman.
According to the FBI, Toth, 30, may advertise online as a tutor or male nanny. Hosko also told Foreman that the fugitive ex-teacher secretly installed a camera in his third grade bathroom at his private school and charmed families into allowing him to be a tutor and babysitter for young boys.
The FBI warns Toth may be using his computer expertise to evade capture. The agency is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to Toth's arrest.
We'll have the latest on the manhunt in tonight's Crime and Punishment report at 8 and 10 p.m. ET.
Update: Watch Tom Foreman's report on Eric Toth.

SearchOpenSource.com has a short interview with David Brickner, author of Test Driving Linux: From Windows to Linux in 60 Seconds, about Konqueror. Brickner, who writes extensively about Konqueror in his new book, says malware, spyware and viruses have virtually no chance of penetrating machines through the open source browser and file manager. He talks about the security, multi-protocol support and comfort level that Konqueror provides for those coming over from Windows.
I read all that rubbish wherein people were moaning about everything beginning with K and then I read this - demonstrating why its all amazing /fanboy
Yeah! That K argument was totally ridiculous! They were all "we're KDE users too" but you could totally tell they were really just Windoze users wanting to make everything like Windoze. And we were calling them on it and saying "you can keep your Windoze" and they were all like "We don't even USE Windows" LOL yeah right like you could go very long using nothing but KDE.
And they were all like "all I'm doing is pointing out that these things are inconsistent in KDE and might be better if we settled on one standard convention, feel free to disagree" and we all banded together and said "yeah we're free to disagree, but YOU AREN'T hahahaha looser!!!!!"
We have to keep fighting the hard fight against dissent, cause that leads to bad stuff.
Apple: iSoftware
Windows: WinSomething, Something32
GTK & GNU: GSomething
KDE: Something-with-a-K
You missed the initial discussion, but right now KDE has 4 divergent naming conventions:
- Words chosen simply because they contain the letter K (Knights)
- Words with K inserted in front of them (KWord, KSpread)
- Words misspelled with a K instead of a C, Q, or other consonant (Kaffeine, Kuickshow)
- Words with no K's at all (Quanta Plus)
Summary of argument: some people think the inconsistency is a problem, others don't. Many (but not all) of those who felt that the inconsistency wasn't a problem felt that this made pointing out the inconsistency a bad idea.
Let's not forget amaroK =)
and digiKam :)
I saw the previous discussion on this (and notice I said "Something-with-a-K" and not KSomething).
If the K naming scheme is going to be abandoned, to what extent are apps going to be renamed? Just things with a K in front? Misspellings to have a K instead of a C or Q? Any word that has a K in it? What about 'konsole' which is the correct german spelling for the word?
I personally prefer the K names, and I really hate the idea of changing apps to generic names like changing Kuickshow to Image Viewer or KWrite into Write. If that would happen all the applications would seem to lose their identity, as if they weren't ANYTHING special, so they don't have a special name.
If you (or anyone that feels the way you do) can come up with replacement names (or naming scheme) for all the 'poorly' named applications I'm sure the KDE community will listen and decide if it would be a good idea to switch the names. Most of the KDE contributors would probably feel that the time before KDE4 is released is the best time to change any names that need to be changed.
"If the K naming scheme is going to be abandoned, to what extent are apps going to be renamed? "
I personally don't expect that any application will be renamed.
Agreed, I doubt that any application will be renamed. However, I'm really impressed with how much better this discussion is going than the last one.
This time around, we seem to have agreement that the naming system is pretty haphazard. We also seem to have agreement that it's possible this haphazard naming convention could be seen by some as a bad thing, even if it isn't seen as a bad thing by most. And we also have agreement that, in the end, KDE will remain inconsistent in this regard. That's progress!
So allow me to address some unanswered points brought up in this discussion so far:
Yes, MacOS and Windows have branding-related naming conventions too--the "i" convention for MacOS is used more frequently and more consistently than any convention for Windows. Those conventions may annoy Windows and Mac users, and Windows and Mac users may or may not complain about them (although probably not as much, because neither are used anywhere near as frequently as KDE's naming conventions). I certainly feel users are free to complain about it if it bothers them, but because the vendors are closed-source, I doubt they will be terribly responsive, even if the negative sentiment is overwhelming. You will not find me complaining about software I do not use frequently, however. So it's just KDE for me.
Secondly, there's not much point in proposing new names if not enough people see a problem with the existing names to warrant the effort. i.e. if people see changing names as, at best, no loss and no gain, then there's no way on Earth anyone would want to go through the trouble. People must really strongly dislike the existing names to warrant the change. So, if everyone felt like me on the matter, we would all be sitting around floating ideas back and forth and it would be very open and democratic. If it's just me and the two or three other people who agreed with me in the last discussion, well, it's not going to happen so why even get to that point?
As far as "which convention to pick?" that's in the same boat. My vote is for no extra effort in trying to put K's into names at all--which would leave words that happened to contain K's (German, English, dubiously transliterated Inuit, or whatever) unchanged, except maybe some corrected capitalization. But if I'm the only one voting, there's not much of a point, is there?
This is a collaborative effort, and although I still feel it's incumbent on any of us to bring up ideas or problems as we find them, I also feel that attempting to make changes without any sort of consensus that the changes actually need to be made is foolish. You will not find, as one poster suggested, a "KDE: Consistent Edition" on kde-apps.org, at least not contributed by me. If nobody wants it, why go through the effort? That's why discussions like this are valuable--to gauge user interest. Currently my gauge on the matter says "you could probably count interested parties on one hand"
Diversity of opinion is a good thing. Freedom to discuss these opinions openly is also good. Neither of these qualifies as, or necessarily leads to forcing a minority opinion on others--and I've never attempted to do that, despite the occasional accusation.
And, to counter one quote which could, in context, be considered ad hominem with another:
"If everyone is thinking the same thing, someone is not thinking" --Gen. Douglas MacArthur
"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds" --Emerson
KDE is a large, complex, diverse project. I think the "inconsistent" app names reflect this nicely.
If KDE was a corporation, and we had a Director of Marketing, maybe this discussion would make some small sliver of sense. But since we aren't, and we don't, it's all pretty absurd and trivial. I mean, really, who cares? If it really bothers you, you can go into the desktop files and modify the app names to whatever you like: problem solved. You could even promote the set of modified desktop files as "KDE: Consistent, Conservative Edition" on kde-apps.org.
Jason, who won't be changing the name of KStars anytime soon...
Can you really do this? Surely most of the names are hard-coded into the apps. I'd be extremely surprised if this were not the case.
Anyway, two or three people discussing this doesn't give any idea about what the general population things. We need a vote/survey.
Also worth pointing out is that hardly any windows apps start with 'Win' these days (only WinAmp comes to mind, and that isn't even active anymore). More apple apps start with 'i', but even then there are many many counter-examples:
MS Office,
I searched for 'list of mac apps' on google and went to the first result - it lists:
Voodoo Pad
Flickr Export
Similarly none of the apps on the front page of http://www.winappslist.com/ start with Win.
Anyway, I don't expect people to start renaming apps, and some make sense (eg KPDF, KDevelop etc), but be more creative/sane in your naming (well done plasma)!
Think about this, though: Out of that list of Mac apps, how many of them tell you much about what the app does?
I agree, simple apps (ie boring ones) should tell you what they do-
But that has nothing to do with the crazy letter naming. CF:
Do any of these tell you what they do? Nope. That's a separate issue and one that doesn't bother me that much.
KRDC stands for KDE Remote Desktop Connection, if someone knows what RDC is they probably will realize what KRDC is. aKode is a library for aRts (so end users won't need to know what it is). Kopete is based on the Chilean word Copete.
Would you consider Kontact to be a good name. Its much better than 'Outlook' (image viewer???), 'Thunderbird' (awesome game???), and 'Evolution' (um???) since it gives you an idea what it is. Some of the K names are pretty descriptive.
Ok yeah... this is a pointless post...
:: Out of that list of Mac apps, how many of them tell you much about what the app does?
Voodoo Pad
It allows a Voodoo priest or priestess to type up memos to the underworld.
A app for planning flights of letter writing aircraft.
Flickr Export
Handles iCal extraction of information about seizures. Very handy for the diagnosing doctor.
Makes sure you have an up to date list of all Squaresoft titles.
This really just a renamed SuperKermit with a fancy Aqua interface.
Allows you to cause news reporters on CNN, the Beeb and FOX News to spontaneously burst into flame when you're watching them in KWinTV.
This is a family website, so I can't explain what this does, only point out that anybody who owns a copy of this should be deeply ashamed of themselves.
This gives access to back issues of Omni magazine.
Turns your mac into a half computer-half pickup truck.
Allows you to make changes to the Slovak Republic.
Honestly, I know what one does and can semi guess at two (Skype is a VoIP app, Voodoo Pad is likely some kind of text editor and Flikr Export probably sends images to Flikr), but I really don't know what the rest are. skEdit might be another text editor.
I like the naming convention- it's kute.
other Xploits are the use/misuse of other letters and terms- particularly E,I,X
in many platforms - and platform specific prefixes win/mac, which seems like it extends hamburger marketing - Mac-Shake, mac-Fries, big mac.
If anyone doesn't like the name- grab the source code, rename some files and recompile it - Or just rename the sym-links.
I think the diversity and unpredictability of names in KDE is sheer beauty, lets not stiffle it with some kind of convention. I for one certainly don't want a boring naming pattern like Windoze has.
The convention's already there, I'm afraid (roughly described as "put a K in the name somewhere"). There are three totally different ways to implement this convention, and a fourth option to disregard the convention entirely.
So if you're in favor of disregarding this convention, I can certainly agree with that. All I'm suggesting is that if we HAVE to have a convention (which I don't necessarily think is a good idea BTW), we should do it consistently.
If the names of KDE apps were truly unpredictable, I'd be delighted. Unfortunately, of all of the capitalized consonants in any application name (of which there is usually only one or two), I can almost always guess one correctly, without even knowing what the app does.
I think we'd be better off if all the time and energy that people put into arguing about the names of apps went into improving them -- in particular, all that typing could be directed toward improved documentation.
I would certainly argue that renaming them IS improving them, but certainly it's a lower priority than documentation improvements. And both are lower priority than functionality improvements.
However, you cannot defer documentation and naming bugfixes indefinitely until all functionality bugs are fixed--because those bugs are endless. Some bugs are also easier to fix early in an applications life than later, such as the application's name.
And while I really appreciate the sentiment (proper documentation is hard unrewarding work), it's more than just typing. If you think the applications don't need to be renamed, just say so. There's no need to invent harm that this discussion is doing to KDE.
Yes I know you would argue. And I didn't invent a harm, I merely pointed out that there could be more good.
We now return you to your regular stream of sophistry.
When called on a straw man, ad hominem. That was hardly a surprise.
If this is the case made for the adoption of Konqueror, then I want another lawyer. I don't think he would win in "Browser Court". I was expecting to see an explanation of Konq's excellent architecture and it's use of KIO slaves - but that was way down the list, even after the "I don't have any choice but the command line" [paraphrased] shining compliment.
The article focuses on Konq's superior security, of which I was certainly curious - I had never read an article about Konq's security before - and it turned out to be that Konq is not IE - I knew that already.
He also says that he would only use Konq as a file manager and not a browser, because Gecko is better than KHTML - with friends like these who needs enemies?
Konqueror is an excellent browser (univeral viewing framework, really) for many reasons - few of which are stated here - none of which are stated well. This article does the KDE and Konqueror cause no good at all.
This is a boring reply but I've read the article and had the precise same feeling,
Well, let's forgive the dot for throwing some chintz out every once in a while.
he not only says, it's more secure for not being IE, but he also pointed out that Konqueror is "Open Source" and therefore patched faster.
Being the only alternative to command line, assuming that he tried others, is a good compliment, because it says, it is usable as a file manager. And it really is in my view too.
And the ability to also use Gecko instead of KHTML is NOT a strength of Konqueror architecture in your view? In my view it is. And there being 2 choices for HTML rendering, Konqueror has a tradition of allowing the user to select which one.
His comparison of KHTML and Gecko appears to be the common sense BTW.
I personally will remain with KHTML anyway, it has the cleaner font handling (I always feel like Konqueror rendition looks more pretty) and faster loading.
Yours, Kay
Just my thinking, I didn't really like Gecko under Linux, because the fonts look so big (don't know how to change them for the better, everything I did made it look more terrible). KHTML on the other hand, rendered the fonts very well, but alas it has a lot of other problems that I couldn't solve yet in HTML. But it is getting better, maybe one day when it also supports RichText Editing, it will become my standard browser, under linux....
On the other hand why not make a browser function like Firefox but based on KDE and KHTML. (maybe be able to switch from one rendering to an other). I like Firefox a little better, because of the keyboard-layout and middle-mouse-clicks to open links in tabs. (I'm also using it under windows, so I don't want to learn an other keyboard-shortcut yet...)

Konqueror is getting gecko integration, at which point it will be able to switch from one to another.

middle mouse clicks open links in tabs in konqueror too
either middle click on a link or even, if a url occurs in a page but it's not a link, select it and middle click
From the article:
Where do you feel Konqueror is strongest -- as a browser or file manager -- and why?
Brickner: Personally, I like it best as a file manager, simply because I wouldn't have a good alternative (other than the command line) to turn to if I didn't have Konqueror. For a Web browser, I could always use Firefox.
He's not saying "he would only use Konq as a file manager and not a browser," he's saying Konq is a better file manager than browser, and if Konq wasn't a browser, he could use FF. He does indeed say Gecko is better than KHTML further down the article.
Yup. Tim needs a better english parser more than he needs a better browser lawyer. And what was that bit above about being "very surprised" if apps didn't have their name hardwired in? Especially in this era of i18n, no competent programmer hardwires text. Even my throwaway command line apps get their names from the invocation.
That's a different Tim
Personally, I've used Firefox, and I've used Konqueror. And in all seriousness, I wouldn't specifically pick one over the other; they both work really well for surfing the web. As long as you aren't using IE, it's all good in my book.
lol. I'm sorry the interview wasn't to your liking. I wasn't too fond of the interview questions myself, as they focused almost exclusively on security which is not really what I wanted to talk about. But all I could do was answer the questions put to me. The questions defined how the interview turned out, not my answers. If you want to see my opinion on Konqueror as a file manager (from a basic user perspective) read the sample chapter linked to in the article. Another chapter in the book is devoted exclusively to Konqi as a file manager.
Your conclusions about my use of Konqueror are incorrect. The intent of my statements was that I'm more dependent upon Konqueror as a file manager than as a web browser. My next best alternative file manager is the command line, which I'm comfortable with, but which I don't always want to use. However, the next best alternative web browser is Firefox and that is pretty darn good so I don't mind using that.
Just for the record--I really enjoy KDE. If KDE didn't exist I might not be a desktop Linux user, or if I was one I would be less happy. I prefer KDE to any other environment out there, and this includes the OS X interface. GNOME, xfce, and other DEs and WMs are nice and all, and I think it is great that there is so much diversity and choice for Linux and that so many users like the alternatives, but for me KDE is the best choice.
Here is something many of you may find interesting: at O'Reilly all of our production users (these are the people who copy-edit, layout, and quality check our books, as well as prepare the final files that go to the printer) use KDE as their main desktop or as a remote desktop from which they access our layout program FrameMaker. KMail, Konqueror, and Konsole are the main programs used.
I absolutely love Konqui as a file manager and web browser and life browser with all the protocols (KIOSlaves +/- a small typo) it supports. Stuff like klik:// , fish://, ... it is so powerfull
My non-techie significant other, OTOH, does not use any of these (except file browsing). After a while, she settled for Konqui for file browsing and Firefox for the web. Why ? More pages render/work/whatever in Firefox than Konqui. The gap is closing, but it is still true.
I still love it, but I really think that embedding (optionally) gecko will be a great benefit.
The other thing she like better in Firefox is a simpler interface. Please don't flame me for this. Many people do. Actually I do. But I'd rather use konqui for many other reasons
There is nothing to stop you from making the interface to Konqueror just as simple as that of firefox -- and then Save View Profile Webbrowsing.
Yes, it is a "complex" task to set up the simpler interface, but that is a one-time task suitable for the local admin/guru. IE, you ;-)
yep :-)
Well, and some distro's like Ubuntu are doing it for their users, I think it is a good idea.
A little tougher (without touching the code) would be to simplify the configuration menu. It is a bit overwhelming and it could be improved usability-wise. But then again, even Firefox is configured by this humble servant for everyone else :-)
In the end, most people I know have someone around "who knows" and configure stuff for them (especially in windows, mac users really choose it and know their way around). All we need is make our (free) software easy enough so that anyone with a bit of interest can configure stuff for them and the people they help !
Actually, its already done for you! Just switch the profile to simplebrowser. If you want this to be the default, save over webbrowser.
To start konqueror in the simple browser mode, run
"konqueror --profile simplebrowser" (I sure hope I'm right, can't test it right now think).
Yep, that worked!
That's pretty simple all right! Even the menus -- the Go and Window menus are gone which is an improvement even over Firefox (which still has the never-used Go menu) and the Settings menu is much reduced.
Now, making that a default for webbrowsing might be a good idea. "Advanced" users who want the extra functionality will be more comfortable switching to "Complex Browser" as default than untechnical users will be switching to Simple Browser.
Good points, thank you both !
I wonder whether its konqi or the google maps which is responsible for "unsupported browser" dialog.
It's fixed.
Check out "This month in SVN" from June 2005
Google of course ;)
Google Map works if you spoof as Firefox or Safari. The only thing that doesn't work seems to be sightseeing urls that doesn't jump to the right position or the various special uses of google maps (like crime-maps) which just shows empty screens.
Doesn't konqi seem to handle ASP's better than FF? I find very few sites that konqueror can't handle well with just a little setting.
The only thing I like more in Firefox is the "Begin finding when you begin typing"-feature. In Konqueror you need to put a / in front of the search.
I know Konqueror has a lot of hidden gems (activated in a conf.file). Does anyone knows if this feature can be enabled in Konqueror? If not, does anyone knows if this is a planned feature?
My least favorite Konq feature relative to FF is that ctrl-W doesn't close a single tab window -- that's inconsistent and poor UI. And the Konq/KDE password management (kdewallet) sucks big time. Other than that and the pages that it can't render and javascripts it can't handle, I'd be happy with it.
If I remember correctly, this behavior is intentional. From what I remember, many people have voted in the bugzilla database to change this behavior, but the developers refuse to budge.
I'm sure it's intentional; that doesn't stop it from being bad.
Konqui rendering is good but slow. Why does it take so long.
Because it's design and the set of algorithms it uses aren't optimal. (If there were a simple answer, it wouldn't still be slow.)

Groklaw, the 11-year-old website devoted to covering legal disputes related to open source software, has announced it will shut down rather than risk the government reading its e-mail.
Groklaw founder Pamela Jones (commonly known as "PJ") wrote today that she is not confident the government won't someday be able to crack her encrypted e-mails. "There is no way to do Groklaw without e-mail," she wrote. "So this is the last Groklaw article."
This is the second time Jones announced her intention to no longer publish Groklaw articles. On April 9, 2011, she said goodbye to readers because "the crisis SCO initiated over Linux is over, and Linux won. SCO as we knew it is no more." She quickly changed course, saying Groklaw would continue with a new editor; she then continued running the site herself.
This time, she pointed to comments made by the owner of Lavabit, an encrypted e-mail service that shut down rather than comply with government orders to hand over e-mails. "The owner of Lavabit tells us that he's stopped using e-mail and if we knew what he knew, we'd stop too," Jones wrote.
Anyone can encrypt e-mail themselves through the use of public and private keys, as we explained in our tutorial on PGP and S/MIME. An e-mail might be stored on a Google or Microsoft server, but only the person holding the private key can decrypt it and read it.
Some cloud providers are now taking a "privacy seppuku pledge," stating that they would shut down rather than aid the government. Additionally, Kim Dotcom's Mega service plans to launch its own encrypted e-mail service next year.
But Jones isn't sure how long secure e-mail will remain secure. "They tell us that if you send or receive an e-mail from outside the US, it will be read," she wrote. "If it's encrypted, they keep it for five years, presumably in the hopes of tech advancing to be able to decrypt it against your will and without your knowledge. Groklaw has readers all over the world."
Jones herself wrote that she will try to "get off of the Internet to the degree it's possible" because "I can't stay online personally without losing my humanness, now that I know that ensuring privacy online is impossible."
"If you have to stay on the Internet, my research indicates that the short term safety from surveillance, to the degree that is even possible, is to use a service like Kolab for e-mail, which is located in Switzerland, and hence is under different laws than the US, laws which attempt to afford more privacy to citizens," she wrote. "I have now gotten for myself an e-mail there, p.jones at mykolab.com in case anyone wishes to contact me over something really important and feels squeamish about writing to an e-mail address on a server in the US. But both e-mails still work. It's your choice."

JFK memorabilia fetches about $2M at auction
AMESBURY, Mass. (AP) — A private collection of John F. Kennedy memorabilia brought in almost $2 million at auction, including $570,000 for the former president's Air Force One leather bomber jacket.
The collection of about 2,000 photographs, documents, gifts and other items was auctioned Sunday at John McInnis Auctioneers in Amesbury.
The items belonged to David Powers, Kennedy's assistant and close personal friend who died in 1998.
The jacket, like many of the items, sold to an anonymous bidder for much more than expected.
It was emblazoned with the presidential seal sewn on the front, and was given to Powers shortly before the president was assassinated 50 years ago. It came with a color photograph of Kennedy wearing it while watching the America's Cup race. The pre-auction price was just $20,000 to $40,000.
An American flag that flew at the White House during the Kennedy administration went for $21,000, even though the price was $3,000 to $6,000.
A photo of Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy on their wedding day signed by the couple sold for $9,750 even though the pre-auction price was $2,000 to $5,000.
The 723-lot auction that drew international attention also offered other items affordable to the general public.
Rich Travaglione of Nantucket paid $525 for a 1946 photo of JFK.
Travaglione said his late father, who was 15 around the time Kennedy ran for Congress, met the candidate when he was campaigning in Boston's North End. Travaglione's father introduced Kennedy to many of the residents, creating a lasting memory for the younger man.
"That particular time was important to me and my father," Travaglione told the Daily News of Newburyport (http://bit.ly/Xmid6Z)
Donnie Greenwell of Waverly, Ky., snapped up two speeches written by Kennedy, "We Must Be Worthy Of Our Times" during his run for U.S. Congress in 1946 for $500 and "Why I am a Democrat," written around the same time for $550.
"It (the price) sounded reasonable," Greenwell said.
The auction house says Powers' relatives found the collection locked away last year as they prepared to sell the family home. Powers' family is keeping some memorabilia and may give other items to the Kennedy Library.
About 350 people attended the auction, with another 1,000 online bidders.
Amesbury Mayor Thatcher Kezer said the town was "proud" to host the auction.

text: The central question of this course: "why study wood?" If "why study wood" is the question, one answer would be that it is the only raw material available to us that is truly renewable in human life span terms. Wood is as important to society today as it ever was, despite the development of many man-made substitute materials, changing resource availability, and the changing needs of society. Some items on the list of wood products stay the same (lumber, plywood and veneer for building construction, furniture, shipping pallets & crates and other containers & packaging materials, railroad ties, utility poles, chemical feed stocks, etc), but the list also keeps changing to meet new needs and challenges as the resource changes. In short, wood is a far more diverse, green, and renewable resource than you might have imagined. Join us to learn about the important role of wood in human history, civilization, and our future. By the end of the course, learners will be able to: - describe wood as a raw material and its critical importance to the world economy, and the lives of the people that make that economy work. - identify the projected trend for wood consumption to continue to grow in the coming years, despite the image of wood as a "low tech" material. - identify the ways in which wood's properties can lead to its efficient and sustainable use. -identify wood's positive role in boosting the world economy and ability to lead to unexpected vocations.

6:53 (I'm beginning with recorded material from about 2 hours ago. I'll be catching up.): "Being asked to pay your fair share isn't class warfare. It's patriotism," says Newark Mayer Cory Booker. He gets a huge ovation that turns into a "U.S.A." chant. They're "U.S.A."ing at the idea of patriotism, presumably. Not taxes. Oh, but paying taxes = patriotism. Or, specifically, being asked to pay is patriotism. Who is the patriot in that grammatical construction? I think it's the folks who are asking other people to pay.
7:11 (Still catching up.): Gov. Bev Perdue sounded hoarse and a bit sick as she vowed to deliver North Carolina to the Democrats. A film about health care. A young man whose parents died in a way that supposedly might have been avoided if we'd had Obamacare. They were both scientists, he says, so I'm not clear why they did not have health insurance.
7:19: The chair of the Congressional Hispanic Congress, Charles Gonzales, uses the motto "e pluribus unum" — out of many, one — to mean that all the people become one, instead of the idea that the states were brought together into one nation. The idea that the people merged into a single entity — that sounds like fascism to me. Oddly, as it repurposes the old motto, it expresses the old fashioned idea of the melting pot.
7:30: White males of the gubernatorial kind — Quinn & Kaine.
7:32: A black speaker wedged in — the mayor of Charlotte — before the next pale male. But it's a big one, so I'll go light on the fast-forwarding I'm using to try to catch up to live. It's Harry Reid.
7:36: Reid wants us to fear the Tea Party. They are "extremists and ideologues who leave no room for reason," and they're taking over the Republican Party.
7:42: Nancy Pelosi is introduced along with all the Democratic women of the House. There's disco music playing. The hell? Then I detect that it's "I'm Every Woman." Again with this creepy merging of individuals into the whole.
I'm every woman, it's all in meSee what I mean? That's creepy when it's the government. When it's some lady you're having sex with, I guess it's sexy.
Anything you want done, baby
I'll do it naturally
I'm every woman, it's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z
I can cast a spellNow, that's just scary when it's a whole horde of government women coming at you. What is this "special brew"? Soma? But anytime you feel/Danger or fear/Instantly I will appear... Nancy Pelosi will appear?! I can sense your needs/Like rain on to the seeds/I can make a rhyme/Of confusion in your mind... no, no, no, no that's not what I want to hear from the government!
With secrets you can't tell
Mix a special brew
Put fire inside of you
But anytime you feel
Danger or fear
Instantly I will appear, 'cause
I'm every woman
8:03: Speaking of scary... it's Jimmy Carter (on film). He's well made-up, well preserved, and well modulated. But he seems like a nice man, there, doesn't he? And he tells us Barack Obama and Joe Biden will lead us to a better future.
8:18: Huge storm here! We just lost power for a few minutes. I lost a whole paragraph of snark about Teddy Kennedy. A young Kennedy — Joseph P. Kennedy III, running for Congress — said the spirit of Teddy was with us here today. I had some prime snark! Did Teddy bring this terrible storm that drowned all my Mary Jo Kopechne material?
8:25: NARAL! It's Nancy Keenan, for "safe, legal" abortions, with "dignity and privacy." A woman should not be forced to have an ultrasound "against her will." And "rape is rape." President Obama had "the courage to stand with Sandra Flook" (is that how we're pronouncing it now?). "Women in America cannot trust Mitt Romney."
8:33: I've caught up to Rahm Emanuel. "The American auto industry is not just surviving..." Hmm. He professes to know with "absolute certainty" that something will happen in the future and "land with a thud on the Oval Office desk." Who do you want there? He's saying that like it's obvious.
8:38: It's Obama's little sister Maya and Michelle's older brother Michael. Nice. Lovely. But let's skip the details.
8:45: I'm finally completely caught up. Lily Ledbetter is speaking. This is the question of "equal pay for equal work," but the Supreme Court case she lost was a matter of interpreting statutory language about how soon you need to bring a lawsuit. I feel sorry for her, but I'm also uneasy about her as an icon representing things that are not what the court case was about.
8:48: Deval Patrick, the governor of Massachusetts, is able to compare himself to Romney, who was, a while back, the governor of Massachusetts. He's yelling and screaming about the economy. Obama has been wonderful!!!
8:53: "I will not stand by and let him be bullied out of office!" Patrick propaganda.
8:55: Wow, everyone looks really sweaty. Did the AC break down?
9:03: Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley. I have no idea why this man has been given this prominence. Here's his question for Republicans: "How much less do you really think would be good for this country?"
9:07: Time for the keynote address at last. It's Julian Castro, the mayor of San Antonio.
9:17: Castro seems like he could have been a speaker at last week's GOP convention. He keeps talking about "hard work" and even "rugged individualism." But then he says "Like many of you, I watched last week's Republican convention, and they told a few stories of individual success. We all celebrate individual success, but the question is: How do we multiply that success? The answer is President Barack Obama."
9:22: Castro gets a refrain going: "Mitt Romney says no."
10:00: Michelle Obama is wearing an orange dress that in the close-up looks like a bathing suit. Lots of shoulder and arm display. Her speech goes on and on, filled with stuff that has no relationship to the question of whether Barack Obama should be reelected. He thinks his little girls are important and he's proud of them and eats dinner with them and counsels them about their middle-school friendships. Okay. I phase out. What's the point of all this? Then — this seems near the end — she starts doing this fake stuttering (as if she's talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-g-generation): "A-a-and he reminds me, he reminds me that we are playing a long game here..." (Meade says: "Not 9 holes, it's 18 holes.") "A-a-a-and that change is hard. A-a-a-and change is slow and it never happens all at once but that eventually we get there. We always do. W-w-w-w-we get there, because of folks like my dad." (Earlier in the speech she described her father.) "Folks like Barack's grandmother. Men and women who-who said to themselves, I-I may not have a chance to fulfill my dreams, but maybe my children will, maybe my grandchildren will. See-see-see, so many of us stand here tonight because of their sacrifice...." Arghhhh! This is the same thing we heard last week. It's so earnest. Stage-y earnest. But what does it say? Who should be President?!
10:16: Michelle's speech goes on a long time. I don't really see the point of it. There's a theme of waiting patiently with the expectation that our children or their children will have a better life, but what does that mean for the election? It seems to say that we should reelect Obama despite the lack of economic progress. She speaks of "unwavering hope grounded in unyielding struggle." Now there's this choked-up quality in her voice as she says she's "Mom-in-Chief," doing what's "best for our girls." It's getting very hammy. Vote for my husband. That's the end. And then the music comes up: "Move your body... move your little hips...." What?!
10:26: An unusually young woman comes out to do the closing prayer, and it goes on for almost 4 minutes. "As a young woman of faith and a leader...." Who is she? The executive director of Blood: Water Mission. I don't really understand what that is — and I did Google it — so I'm left assuming that the Democrats are simply hot to reach out to young women.

So why don't you people do something different like breaking up India into smaller independent states that are easy to manage. You may have a chance then. It may take another 10,000 years though !!!!
I am a Hindu boy from Bombay.
I pick my nose and eat my moist salty gooey green and yellow boogers.
It is healthiest protein food..
I'm loving it!
Lol. Blushing.
I just farted Wet again. .it's a big one and it is a real stinker
Wow. Interesting. Another wet fart bomb. Its a real stinker. ..
Yuk. Smells like Blue Saffron's breath and Philip Douglass' breath too
Take cover. I ate cabbage casserole. .phewwwww
Fart bomb..fart bomb.
I was at home. Then. Then.
Then Blue Saffron knocked on my door. And then he took off my clothes.
And then. Then.
He touched me in my private area.
He is a bad man. He is.
Once I was walking to a party. Then. And then Cuchumber was dressed like a Catholic priest. It was a costume party.

I'm a liiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr pay attention to meeeeeeeeeeereeee
Hi. I am Translationbot. I enjoy eating poop from a dog that lives in Bombay India. His name is Spotty.
I also eat Philips boogers
I eat frog poop and drink Modi's pee pee.
It is all very good and nutricious
I stood in front of The Parthenon and took in all the good that Athena stood for.
I read about the Temples of Khajurahu and the evil that Kali Maa stands for.
Two cultures: The Greeks – so very enlightened. The Hindus – epitomy of terrorism.
I stood in front of an elephant. It farted. It was a great stinker and wet too.
So I ate it.
Very good. Tastes like chicken
I drink my own warm pee pee
Stalin and Mussolinis were world leaders too. Modi is the Joseph Mengele of modern times.
He is a pariah. A murderer. A genocidalist. Like Gandhi he enjoys underage boys. In fact his boyfriend is from Myanmar.
He is a woman basher. He married an underage girl and abandoned her on nuptial night.
Now if you and your pappy like him then god bless ya'll. But from my perch I don't want to be Modi. In fact I don't wanna be a "leader" in India. They are ALL raypists. The fact of the matter is I don't even wanna go to India because I don't wanna get Ebola.

Paul Jannace: The calm before the Super Bowl storm
The players have been locked away as Marshawn Lynch's nightmare is over.
All media obligations are over and it's all about the football game now.
The head coaches went through their final press conferences Friday morning, somehow filling up time by saying pretty much the same stuff they have been saying all week.
The week following the conference championship games are all about preparation. The talk is about the previous victory with an early look ahead to the next opponent.
Super Bowl week itself is about hype. Media Day is a prime example of how bizarre this event can be at times.
As we approach 48 hours until kickoff, the focus is solely on who will win on Sunday.
It is Seattle's Legion of Boom against Denver's versatile offense. An intriguing matchup with the usual litany of storylines.
The only big news left for the weekend is the Hall of Fame announcement on Saturday night. Former Bills WR Andre Reed is one of the 15 finalists again, but has a tough journey with many first- and second-time candidates who may block his way once again.
On Saturday, the NFL also will announce all of its awards such as MVP, Rookies of the Year, and Coach of the Year.
Peyton Manning should easily win his 5th MVP award, but the the other awards can go several ways.
One award I am very interested in is the Coach of the Year award.
Like MVP, the argument about what makes a candidate worthy can sometimes be just as interesting. When discussing MVP, people argue over what it actually means to be "most valuable" — is it most valuable to his or her own team or simply the best player being regarded as most valuable.
With a coach of the year candidate, how do you determine who did the best job? Is it the coach who did the most with less? Or is it the coach who had the best team and therefore had the most success?
Many times, the coach of the year is the person who guided the most surprisingly good team. That team expected to go 4-12 that ended up 10-6.
There is no right or wrong way to define an MVP or a Coach of the Year, but this year the NFL had several very worthy candidates that will be tough to decipher.
Andy Reid led a massive turnaround in Kansas City, which went from 2-14 to 11-5 and in the playoffs. Ron Rivera also led a renaissance in Carolina, which got off to an 0-2 and 1-3 start (remember when the Bills beat the Panthers, everyone?), but he got the ship righted and into the playoffs.
What about Bill Belichick? Sure, he has Tom Brady, but the Patriots suffered quite a few injuries and entered the season with a makeshift group of receivers and that team ended up in the AFC Championship game.
Chip Kelly got off to a slow start in Philadelphia but found Nick Foels and won the NFC East. Chuck Pagano had a full season of health, thankfully, and won the AFC South with the Colts, while Bruce Arians took an Arizona Cardinals team that has been floundering the past few years and won 10 games, including one in Seattle before narrowly missing out on the playoffs.
And what about these Super Bowl coaches? John Fox missed a month with heart surgery and Pete Carroll has had the Seahawks on a gradual upswing ever since he took over in 2010.
Of course, it is a regular season award that was voted on before the Super Bowl matchup was set, so Fox and Carroll would not get credit for reaching the Super Bowl in the actual voting.
If I had a vote, it would go to Andy Reid. The Chiefs did have about half-a-dozen Pro Bowlers last season despite winning only two games, so it is possible the team had far more talent than its record showed. However, the Chiefs were still very flawed and had the solid but unspectacular Alex Smith at quarterback.
The addition of Reid set the tone for a rebound season and Smith was the perfect guy to lead a run-oriented offense. Reid also had a history of being too pass-happy in Philadelphia but allowed Jamaal Charles to be the No. 1 weapon for Smith. I always thought Reid caught too much flack in Philadelphia for someone who won a lot of games, but just couldn't quite get over the hump.

Climber Dies When Rappels Off End of Rope
Dennis Luther, 54, was a dedicated and veteran climber, establishing a slew of new routes in the Adirondacks from the early 1980s through 2007. At Poke-O-Moonshine, one of his favorite stomping grounds, he did first ascents of such popular routes as Son of a Mother (5.10b), Air Male (5.11c), Static Cling (5.10c) and, most recently, Pandemonium (5.10).
Dennis Luther, 54, was a dedicated and veteran climber, establishing a slew of new routes in the Adirondacks from the early 1980s through 2007. At Poke-O-Moonshine, one of his favorite stomping grounds, he did first ascents of such popular routes as Son of a Mother (5.10b), Air Male (5.11c), Static Cling (5.10c) and, most recently, Pandemonium (5.10). His overall contributions to the crag were so great that locals named a section of cliff the Luther Wall.
Off the rock, Luther lived in Morrisonville, New York, and plied his mechanical-engineering skills for a manufacturer of paper-handling equipment.
His engineering background, says his friend and climbing buddy Jim Lawyer, carried onto the rock. "Dennis could always figure things out," he says, in improvising anchors or threading new routes up improbable rock. Luther was intimately familiar with his local rock, and accustomed to complicated rigging.
When Luther lacked a partner, he'd often go to Poko and clean, inspect and work out the moves on new routes by himself. He'd return when he could muster a partner, and send the route.
At Poko on October 7, Luther and a friend took turns toproping a new 150-foot extension to their linkup of the routes Menace to Sobriety (5.10c) and Psoriasis, a historic Dick Williams 5.9. They sussed the moves and mapped out the bolt placements for the line they intended to name Sobriety Test.
To prep the route for the lead, Luther loaded himself up with gear and doubled their 60-meter rope through the top anchor. Despite knowing that the doubled rope was at least 50 feet short of the lower belay ledge, and that the rope ends were 200 to 250 feet shy of the deck, Luther rappelled without knotting the ends.
He was found, dead, at the base of the wall after apparently having rappelled off the end of his rope. Curiously, he had pulled the rope with him: One side was still through his rappel device and had a prussic back-up attached to it. His was the Daks' fifth climbing fatality since 1916.
No one will ever know exactly what caused Luther's accident, but it's likely that when the rappel rope was set, the rope ends weren't evened up. Nor were they knotted. The fact that Luther's device was still on one side of the rope, and that he pulled the rope down with him, supports the theory — when the shorter end of the rope zipped through his device, his weight, still on the other side of the rope, pulled it through the anchor.
Why Luther rappelled on a rope that he knew was at least 50 feet short of the belay ledge is a mystery. Perhaps, surmises Lawyer, he intended to place an intermediate rappel station. Also unknown is why he rappelled off the rope ends. Lawyer says that losing control on the slightly less-than-vertical face is unlikely. Lawyer speculates that Luther, who was burdened with gear and a pack, simply didn't notice that one end of the rope hung shorter than the other. Such a lapse is unfortunately common and usually tragic.
If everyone simply knotted the ends of rappel ropes, rappelling fatalities would be greatly reduced if not nearly eliminated, save for those caused by equipment or anchor failure. But, while just about everyone knows that knotting the ends is the safe thing to do, most climbers don't do it, believing they are either experienced enough to avoid an accident; or that the knotted ends will hang up on the rock; or they just can't be bothered. This is absurd thinking.
Knot the ends of your rappel ropes! Also, even-up your rope ends. If you are rappelling on ropes of dissimilar lengths, make sure you know which end is shorter; tie the ends together if you are uncertain. The vastly experienced Luther was safety conscious (note the prussic back-up) and certainly aware of all of these rappel precautions, but says Lawyer, If there's any lesson to be learned, it's that experience doesn't count for shit.

Jerry Sandusky's lawyer says he's worried about his client's well-being in the wake of the molestation charges he faces
Post by: Anderson Cooper, Jason Carroll
Filed under: Jerry Sandusky
Awww I'm so sorry he's devastated....
You have not one, but two, adults who witnessed Sandusky with a child – McCreary saw Sandusky sodomizing a young boy and another who witnessed an oral copulation. How do they explain away TWO adults witnessing these actions? Were they both wrong in what they saw? i don't think so.
Anderson, just listening to Mr. Sandusky's defense attorney. I think it is telling that he voiced "concern" about his clients mental and physical well-being, yet didn't mention any similar concerns for the victim..... typical in our justice system- blame the victims if at all possible.
PS- Really enjoy your show and what you do! Please keep up the great work.

What the Yuck: Do sugar cravings signal diabetes?
Too embarrassed to ask your doctor about sex, body quirks, or the latest celeb health fad? In a regular feature and a new book, "What the Yuck?!," Health magazine medical editor Dr. Roshini Raj tackles your most personal and provocative questions. Send 'em to Dr. Raj at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Q: I've been craving sweets lately - could that mean I have diabetes?
A: Nope. Craving sugar is not one of the symptoms of diabetes, or hyperglycemia (too much blood glucose). Symptoms to look for are frequent urination, excessive thirst, fatigue, weight loss, and blurry vision.
Another common culprit? Low levels of serotonin, the brain chemical responsible for making us feel happy. If you have chronically low levels, your sugar yen could be your body's attempt to fix the problem - studies suggest that sugar increases the absorption of the amino acid tryptophan, which the body uses to make serotonin.
The good news: You can break the cravings cycle. First, stick to three or more healthy meals a day - no skipping! Blowing off a meal can cause your blood sugar to drop and your body to seek a solution - like a hit of chocolate or pint of coffee ice cream. Instead, choose good-news fare that keeps you satisfied.
Take a test to see how well you're managing your diabetes
And when you've just gotta have a little something sweet, just go right ahead. If you are at a healthy weight and not under a doctor's instructions to limit your sugar intake, there's really no reason you can't indulge - in moderation, of course!

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I'm not a vegetarian, much less a vegan, but I have been known to make some darn good meatless meals. We had a guest this weekend who avoids meat, and I wanted to serve a really nice meal that I knew she would enjoy. I have lots of meatless recipes, many of them developed specifically for her, but she visits so often that I've worked my way through the recipes I'm really proud of. While searching for new ideas and options, I found a recipe for asparagus soup that had been developed by Martha Shulman for The New York Times. The recipe was unusual in that it uses green garlic. Green garlic is young garlic that is harvested before the cloves have begun to mature. When pulled, it resembles a large scallion with a deep green stalk and a pale white bulb. It can be found in farmer's markets for a week or two in the springtime. While its flavor is unique an adequate substitute can be fashioned by combining one small leek with one large garlic clove. The soup is really easy to make and the only spot that might cause you trouble is the tempering of the eggs. If you follow the directions in the recipe below, you'll be fine, as long as you remember the soup must stay at a low, slow simmer once eggs are added. I also recommend that this be done just before you plan to serve the soup. I let my soup sit for a while and the lovely creamy broth began to turn green. The wait time did not affect the flavor of the soup, but it did lose some of its eye appeal. This is a really nice spring soup and I heartily recommend it when asparagus is in season . I hope you'll come back tomorrow when I'll be featuring the vegetable crepes that were served with it. Here's the recipe for the soup.
Asparagus Soup with Green Garlic and Eggs...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Martha Rose Shulman via The New York Times
1 pound asparagus
5 cups chicken stock, vegetable stock, or water
1 bulb spring garlic, separated into cloves if cloves have formed, peeled and thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 large eggs
1/4 cup freshly grated pecorino or Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup pasta or rice, cooked, or 4 to 6 slices toasted Italian bread (optional)
1) Break off woody ends of the asparagus stalks. Combine them with stock or water and garlic in a soup pot and bring to a simmer. Simmer 15 minutes. Remove asparagus stems from broth with a slotted spoon. Discard Stems. Season broth to taste with salt and pepper. Cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces and add to broth. Simmer 8 to 12 to minutes. Asparagus should be tender and fragrant, but remain bright in color. Do not overcook.
2) Just before serving, beat eggs, cheese, and parsley together in a bowl. With soup at a bare simmer, whisk a ladleful into egg mixture, stir well and then whisk back into soup. Have the soup at a bare simmer. Making sure that the soup isn't boiling, whisk a ladleful into the egg mixture. Stir well and whisk back into the soup. Whisk constantly over very low heat for 3 minutes, then ladle into bowls and serve over a toasted slice of peasant bread or over a large spoonful of pasta or rice. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings.

Fresh herbs, tomatoes and avocados create a refreshing salsa. Serve with pita or tortilla chips.

Black-Eyed Pea Relish
This easy and versatile relish requires only 15 minutes of prep, then an hour of chilling time for the flavors to meld. Sweet and hot peppers add contrasting flavor. Try the relish with pita chips, as a topping for grilled chicken breast or by itself.
Ham and Mango Sandwiches
These little fruit-and-ham sandwiches are easy to tote to a picnic or potluck. For convenience, have the deli slice the ham.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) Gov. Sam Brownback says Kansas lawmakers should take another look at his suggestions to pay for massive income tax cuts he signed into law earlier this year.
The Republican governor told hundreds of people at a forum in Overland Park on Tuesday that he won't consider restoring tax rates to previous levels.
In January, the state will reduce individual income tax rates, drop the top tax rate to 4.9 percent from 6.45 percent and increase the standard deductions claimed by married couples and heads-of-household. The state also will exempt the owners of 191,000 partnerships, sole proprietorships and other businesses from taxes.
Legislative researchers estimate the cuts will be worth $4.5 billion over the next six years and create collective budget shortfalls approaching $2.5 billion during the same period
